i think obama tried it. he came on really wanting to try couldn't find the partners to do that but if you had a burst of five or six people in the key positions in washington then you could change the dynamic and the quality of the individual. >> rose: you're talking about -- it seems to me the idea of collegiality and a lot of other qualities that i think the country hungers for. >> you have to have a dual consciousness between a campaign consciousness and governing consciousness and that requires a degree of elitism. a sense of i'm part of a leadership class and i'll behave in a certain way for the country even though it may not poll well and that aristocratic ethos-- to sound a little ham ill on theian is not there. >> i would say you can be elite without being elitist. once you get elected to congress you are a member of the elite but it's not elitist to think you have to have-to-govern and to govern you have to have relationships and the problem with reasonableness in congress now is the country desires

i think obama tried it. he came in really wanting to try, couldn't quite find the partner to do that. but if you had a burst of five or six people you keep listening to in washington then you could change the dynamic and the quality of the individual. >> rose: you're talking about old rarity it seems to me the idea of -- and other qualities that i think the country hungers for. >> you're going to have a little consciousness between campaign consciousness and governing consciousness and that's a little -- that's not there. >> you can be elite without bein elitist. once you get elected to congress you're a member of the elite but it's not elitist to think you can govern and to govern you need relationships. the problem with reasonableness in congress now is the country desires it but the media ignores it because if you're reasonable and you speak reasonably you don't get the media that you get. so there are problems with how the 24/7 blogosphere and media work. but i do think that whethert takes bourbon or soi

we watch as president obama seeks to make good on his promises in a second term. joining me from chicago is bill daley. he served as white house chief of staff from january 2011 to january 2012. in february he was appointed as a co-chair of the president's reelection campaign. so my question first is about the politics of this election. how do you read the results? >> well, i think the results are as -- to be honest with you, if you look at the polls and the public speculation i ended up where everybody thought. the states that were going to be close were close and the president won all of them and we're still waiting to hear back on florida, obviously. but the message that was sent here was a couple of things. the president's message of this has been a tough four years, things are improving, give me a chance to keep trying to do and improve what we've been doing i think was listened to. i think the argument of the other side and that was just kind of an anti-message didn't resonate. degraphic changes and an enormously sophisticated well-run campaign by the presid

. >> rose: president obama has been reelected as president of the united states. the last few ballots are still being counted, but winning ohio gave the president enough electoral college votes for victory. governor romney, the former governor of massachusetts, conceded just after 1:00 a.m. >> and i ran for office because i'm concerned about america. this election is over but our principles endure. that i believe the principles upon which this nation was founded are the only sure guide to a resurgent economy and to renewed greatness. like so many of you, paul and i have left everything on the field. we have given all our to this campaign.

i don't think obama had a communications issue. he just used big government a lot and i don't think americans believe in big government so i think it was a substance issue and to me the next president has to take issues out of column a of the republican side and say some of their debt ideas are right, some of the regulatory ideas are right and take issues out of column b, the democratic side and say a lot of their issues on inequality are right and i'm going to take out of both sides and that would confuse everybody but most people in the country, even the tweeting and the blogging, they would say "interesting." >> i thought they were far too promiscuous in how they used the president as a speech maker. especially in 2010. they had anymore the backyards in new mexico. they thought he had a magic about him that predated him taking office with the campaign and it just wasn't having an impact anymore because people see so much all day everyday. it's not unique. there was a time-- and i've been in this business a long time-- the presid
